Other

Below
is information about the event's topics:
Digital
Radiography
Radiography reduces materials costs, saves staff time
and offers new revenue sources. Patients appreciate
that digital radiography cuts radiation exposure by
up to 90% and many notice practices using up-to-date
technology. Our program will look at the different approaches
a practice can take toward digital x-rays, as well as
the pros and cons of different types of systems.
Paperless Office
Paperless office technologies allow you to completely
reshape your office workflow, find new efficiencies
and improve practice productivity. By making information
accessible from anywhere in your office, not just in
a patient file or a scheduling book, all of your staff
will now be on the same page.
Patient
Education Software
Patient education software is a rewarding investment
for every dental practice, because it saves staff time,
and increases both patient and insurance case acceptance.
Our program will underline some of the brightest offerings
in this field.
Reliable and Secure Computer Networks
Your practice’s computers are the central nervous
system of all of your office’s digital dental
technology. Whether your office has digital patient
charts or merely uses computers for scheduling, it is
vital for you to back your data up every night, and
to ensure the security of your networks. Our program
will highlight these and other considerations that should
be given to the infrastructure of your practice.
Intraoral Video Capture
Intraoral video capture allows dental professionals
to diagnose patients with a new level of precision.
It provides a very important tool to educate patients
about their diagnosis, and in so doing, increases your
practice’s case acceptance rate. Dental Tech Night
will discuss the merits of particular types of video
capture technology.
By
the end of the Night you will have covered the many
aspects of dental technology and leave with a clearer
understanding on how dental technology can work for
you!
Technology is an investment. And every investment should
begin with a plan. [Register
